Lin Piaoxue did not return to her ward, but left the hospital. At the hospital gate, she waved down a tricycle and said to the driver, "Sir, please take me to Baiyun Village."
"Young lady, Baiyun Village is quite far, and you'll be coming back empty, so the fare might be a bit higher," the tricycle driver said.
“Okay, I’ll go home to get a change of clothes, and then I’ll ride back to the hospital in your car later,” Lin Piaoxue said.
"Okay, then I'll charge you the usual price, and I won't overcharge you," the tricycle driver said happily.
Lin Piaoxue got on the tricycle and said to the driver, "Driver, please drive faster, I need to get back to the hospital for an IV drip."
"Okay, I'll try to be as fast as I can," the tricycle driver said.
Sitting on the tricycle, Lin Piaoxue turned her head to look at the hospital, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. Her parents must know that the real Lin Qinghuan has returned, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed Lin Qinghuan to be so arrogant and deal with her.
Lin Qinghuan was exceptionally intelligent from a young age, and she was never a match for Lin Qinghuan. Her parents gradually favored Lin Qinghuan. She was still so young, and her face could not be disfigured. She had to get money to go to a big hospital to get her face repaired. Her parents never thought of sharing the money with her. Her reputation in the village had also become bad. She had to leave Baiyun Village and start over somewhere else.
Lin Piaoxue asked the tricycle driver to stop at the village entrance, took out a yuan and handed it to him, saying, "Wait for me here. I'll pack two sets of clothes to change into. It'll be quick. This yuan won't be included in the fare."
The tricycle driver was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely wait for you. You can take your time packing."
When she got home, she saw a pile of garbage in the yard and no one in the house. Overjoyed, she took out her key, opened the door to the main room, and then opened the room of Lin's father and mother. With practiced movements, she found the savings book and household registration book that Lin's father had hidden, and quickly put them back in their original state. She went back to her own room, took out her savings and ID card, found the medicine that Lin Qinghuan had prescribed, grabbed a couple of sets of clothes to change into, put them in her pocket, and hurriedly walked to the village committee.
When the village chief saw Lin Piaoxue return from the hospital so quickly, he kindly asked, "Piaoxue, why are you back so soon? What did the hospital say about the injury on your face?"
“It’s difficult to recover. The doctor suggested going to the city for treatment, where there might be a better chance. I’m going to ask the village chief for a referral letter so I can go to a hospital in the city for a checkup,” Lin Piaoxue said.
Judging from Lin Piaoxue's tone, it seemed she was planning to stay in the city for a long time, so the village chief asked, "Are you planning to come back only after your face is healed?"
Lin Qinghuan said with a bitter face, "Well, I'm still so young. If I keep having this disfigured face, I'll be too ashamed to face anyone, and it will scare the children. I'm thinking of going to the city to find work while I get my face repaired."
The village chief gave Lin Piaoxue a letter of introduction, which she accepted. "Thank you, Uncle Village Chief," she said.
Lin Piaoxue quickly walked out of the village committee with the letter of introduction in her hand.
Seeing that Lin Piaoxue came and went in a hurry, the village chief thought to himself that something seemed off about her.
But something felt off, and he couldn't quite put his finger on it!
Lin Ming was carrying pig feed home when he looked up and saw Lin Piao carrying a bag, hurriedly getting into a tricycle by the roadside. The tricycle was heading towards the city. Lin Ming had a suspicious look on his face. Piao Xue had just returned. What was she going to the city for?
He went to the convenience store and called out to Lin Qing, "Brother, I just saw Piaoxue get on a tricycle with a bag in her hand. It looks like she's going to the city."
Lin Qing frowned slightly. Lin Piaoxue had just returned home and had injuries on her face. Given her character, it was impossible for her to be running around.
Lin Qing felt increasingly uneasy. He looked at Lin Ming with a serious expression and said, "Go home and check if Dad and Mom have come home yet?"
After hearing Lin Qing's words, Lin Ming carried the pig feed back home quickly. Seeing that the door to the main room was locked, he threw the basket on the ground, ran to the store, and shouted, "Big brother, Dad and Mom haven't come home yet."
Lin Feng had just returned from picking vegetables in the garden when he noticed that Lin Qing and Lin Ming looked unwell. He asked in confusion, "Big brother, third brother, what's wrong? Did something happen at home?"
Lin Qing frowned and gave a brief account of Lin Piaoxue's situation.
“Brother, Piaoxue has a scar on her face and is so concerned about her appearance, it’s impossible for her to wander around aimlessly. I can’t think of any reason why she would go to the city,” Lin Feng said.
"Big brother, second brother, Piaoxue left in a hurry, she seemed to be in a real rush," Lin Ming said.
Lin Feng looked towards the village entrance and sighed, "Piaoxue has already left by car. Even if we wanted to catch up and ask her what happened, it's too late. We can only wait for our parents to come home and ask them what happened."
...
After talking with Lin Qinghuan for a while, Lin's mother went upstairs to visit Lin Piaoxue, but did not see her in her bed. She then asked the woman in the next bed, "Sister-in-law, have you seen my daughter?"
"She went out with you and never came back," the woman in the next bed replied.
Lin's mother was a little unhappy. Ou Piaoxue had injuries on her face and should have rested properly. Why did she have to run around everywhere? She was such a worry.
Lin's mother searched the entire hospital but still couldn't find Lin Piaoxue, so she had no choice but to give up and return to Lin Qinghuan's ward with no other option.
Seeing the displeasure on Lin's mother's face, Lin's father asked in confusion, "Did Piaoxue upset you again?"
“Piaoxue isn’t in the ward. I’ve searched everywhere in the hospital, but I still can’t find her,” Lin’s mother said.
Lin's mother's voice was filled with resentment, mixed with a hint of anger.
"He's probably just shy and embarrassed to go back to the ward," Lin's father guessed.
After thinking about it, Lin's mother felt that Lin's father was right, so she stopped paying attention to Lin Piaoxue.
Lin Qinghuan stroked her chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Lin Piaoxue might have gone home."
“Impossible. The hospital fees have already been paid. Piaoxue can’t possibly be going home,” Lin’s mother said definitively.
Seeing that her mother didn't believe her, Lin Qinghuan shrugged helplessly, deciding that if she didn't believe him, so be it.
